After speaking with Target Guest Relations Hotline, the Miller Road Target resolved the incident and shipped a Rattler from another store today. Morale of the story...it pays to talk to Management AND Corporate when employees drop the ball, and fail to provide customer service.
Thanks go out to Ron and Eddie for their support and advice regarding the matter.

No problem! You're part of the 26th Brigade brotherhood; we couldn't stand idly by while one of our own is mistreated. It could have happened to any one of us!

Fellow Tankers, I was just at my Chesterfield Walmart and happened on 3 sealed cases of joes (revision) It says wv4rv5 I should have written down the asssortment number but, here is what's inside: CC w/ mass device, Tigerforce Flint, Commando Snake eyes, Crimson Guard, Spirit, Python Patrol officer, Wild Bill, and one more I don't recall(not a new fig.) All of them come in the new cardback. Hope this helps.

Found the Target vehicles today in Saginaw. Actually, called last night and they put the Rattler aside for me (I made sure they weren't taking it out of a fellow collector's hands =). I pick it up this morning and notice the price tag reads 21.99. So, I was only going to get the Rattler, but I went and found a Conquest for the same price. I know it is only 6 bucks off for the two, but eh, that for that I can buy another figure. They did ring up for 24.99, but I made sure to point out the price tags. Course, the lady called back and had the last Conquest price changed, but in the end, I was happy!

Both Alpine and 28th St. TRU have the CG 5 packs as well as the Firefly v. Greenshirts. Newest revision cases as well. Man, it is so nice to actually see joe stuff en masse on a TRU shelf again!!!

Oh, and thanks to Mr. FOcus. HE had hooked me up with a CG 5 Pack, but I ended up getting one at 20% off for "Hero Appreciation week." (cops, firefighters, military) Anyhoo, very helpful indeed. I like these Michigan collector's. Am I the only one on the Westside of the state???

Welcome to the tank Copper... I think there are a couple of people from GR here, and I like to imagine hisstank members and lurkers are like cockroaches, where you see one poster from an area, there are 5 more lurkers...
